We are three months way from the April 8th Total Solar Eclipse! Below is a map showing where the #pathoftotality crosses Missouri and Illinois. Jackson, Missouri is right in the middle. If you're there, you will have more than 4 minutes of total darkness. @KMOV
There's no better way to celebrate
#NationalSendACardToAFriendDay than by sending
your pen pal a bit of Perry County!
Stop by our Welcome Center to shop from our unique
selection of postcards, greeting cards & handmade
cards that highlight the beauty and history of Perry
County.
In exactly 3 years, on 10/14/23, an annular, or "ring of fire," solar eclipse will occur in the U.S. The path of annularity will sweep across 8 states from Oregon to Texas. This event will be a good warm-up for the big total solar eclipse that will occur just six months later.
This is a great feel good story for our community right now.
Unfortunately, Mayfest was cancelled due to COVID concerns but the planned recognition of our local military will still occur. Stop by downtown Perryville and see the banners. https://t.co/XpBNFjyPk4
St. Louis' Home of Education, Arts and Culture released a great video over the weekend, part of which features Missouri's National Veterans Memorial, right here in Perryville (minute 7).
